A new alkaloid (3) was isolated from the stems of Maackia tashiroi (Leguminosae), together with (-)-camoensidine, tashiromine, ammodendrine and six known lupin (quinolizidine) alkaloids. The structure of 3 was characterized as the N15-oxide of (-)-camoensidine, possessing an indolizidine-quinolizidine ring system, by a combination of spectroscopic and chemical methods.

Leontidine and camoensine, the main representatives of the small quinolizidine-indolizidine alkaloid subgroup, are characterized by an inner bispidine system to which a 2-pyridone and a pyrrolidine are fused on opposite sides. We efficiently synthesized both natural products from the commercially available and abundant alkaloid cytisine, which was converted into the key intermediate, N-Boc-11-oxocytisine, by iodine oxidation and protection. Grignard addition, Paal-Knorr type cyclization, and hydrogenation delivered endo-pyrrolidine fused leontidine, while the reversed reaction order, viz. reduction, Sakurai allylation, and ring closure, afforded exo-pyrrolidine annulated camoensine. Hydrogenation and deoxygenation of the pyridone moieties provided four further alkaloids, tetrahydroleontidine, camoensidine, 11-epileontidane and leontidane. In addition, the artificial alkaloid isoleontidine, carrying an endo-fused pyrrolidine on the same side as the pyridone, was prepared from C-13 oxidized cytisine.
Absolute stereochemistry of (-)-camoensine and (-)-camoensidine in Maackia species

It was demonstrated that the attack of Grignard reagents such as methyl-, allyl-, and 3,3-dimethoxypropyl magnesium bromides on 11,12-dehydrocytisine occurs on the α-face, to give the corresponding 11α-alkylcytisine. (-)-Camoensine and (-)-camoensidine were synthesized from (-)-cytisine via the Grignard reaction. The absolute stereochemistry of the above alkaloids was confirmed to be 7R, 9R, 11R and 6S, 7R, 9R, 11R, respectively.
